Broken Bells and Au Revoir Simone - SOLD OUT

Broken Bells made a relatively ho-hum impression on their debut tour in 2010 and have dropped a similarly lackluster sophomore record, but that didn’t stop fans from lining up to catch the band’s two reputable collaborators in action. James Mercer of the Shins steps out from behind the mope and explores his psychedelic-pop and dance-rock leanings in the group with the help of Brian “Danger Mouse” Burton, the Gnarls Barkley co-founder and producer for the Black Keys, Norah Jones, Beck and now U2. They seem to be channeling the Bee Gees and Bowie more than the Beatles on their new one, “After the Disco.” Brooklyn dance-pop darlings Au Revoir Simone open. Chris Riemenschneider
